Cherubic Elf

Mouth stained with chocolate,
A sparkle in the eye,
You are out to create trouble
Tug at your father's stubble

Won't you stop for a minute
Let me catch my breath,
Must you always scream
Rudely wake me up from my dream

Should you always need to scamper
Play hide and seek
And while every problem seems to weigh one down
For you its a new possibility to crown

Lively as a bee
Bright as a butterfly
Painful as an ant
At once you give us joy and a reason to rant!
